We live in an era of specialization, and for good reason. Divorces and other family law matters are legal proceedings that are governed by specific Michigan law: statutes, case law and court rules. One should be represented by an attorney who is completely familiar with the law and procedure that must be followed. There is a great need to proceed correctly as there is only one opportunity to achieve a desired result. Therefore, with contested issues to resolve, a litigant will face possible hearings and perhaps, trial and the necessity to submit supporting law to the court. There is a need for an experienced family law professional, who concentrates on these types of cases and who is well familiar with the courts, judges and staff of the courts where they carry on their practice.
At a time when you are too emotionally invested to always think and act objectively. There are documents to be drafted that cannot merely be copied from forms. This is an area where “one size does not fit all.” Mistakes can be costly.
